This year Melissa Fifield has made the change from Allison cars to Modifieds. I asked her what made her decide to race Modifieds rather than PASS Super Late Models or the ACT Late Models? Her response, “I have always loved Modifieds and dreamed about racing in the Valenti Modified Racing Series.”
There is approximately 17 modified races this season all across New England, and the Pine Knoll race team is hoping to make them all. “I really like the amount of races but, wish there was a race in Maine.

An impressive field of 34 Pro Stock/Super Late Models assembled for the final round of the Six-Pack Shootout, but several contenders, including ME veteran Mike Rowe and PASS race winner Gary Smith, were eliminated in a series of tangles that slowed the action repeatedly over the first half of the race.
